JIM the SYRUP

My first experience of trying to be a DJ stems back to the mid 70s, playing using two record players at youth clubs and at house parties. Forward fast to the 80s where I started to take things a little more serious, playing pubs and clubs in the Reading area, however at that time it was difficult to find a venue where I could play my true love of soul and Jazz. Beadles wine bar on a Thursday night gave me a chance to drop a few in whilst playing mainly 80s grooves, later I was offered a Saturday lunchtime set at Beadles where I could play 80% soul, Jazz etc.

The Majestic in Reading was a godsend where I joined up with Caister legend Sean French. The Saturday afternoon sessions where we played 100% the right stuff (at last).

The rest is just history, more bars and clubs up and down the country, weekenders and abroad playing my love of soul and Jazz

Love
The Syrup
